inst, the total receipts nave reached l3,
OF bales, against Is, IL bales last week,
II, 222 bales the previous week, and 2l,'
627 bales three weeks since; making the

The imports mo continental ports

ton in sight, Friday night, Of 1881

compared with 1881.
The old interior stocks have decreased
during the week 1880 bales, and were
Friday night 135,471 bales less than al
the same period last year. The receipts
at the same towns have been i, 1872 bales

The Chronicle, in its monthly review,
gives some interesting figures. The gross
movement during April exhibits de-
cline from the figures for the correspond
ing month OF the two preceding years,
the months total being 50,5l5 bales,
against 50, 461 bales last year and 81, 932
bales in 1885; for the eight months the
aggregate is 1,l97, ,5GS bales, against
l,O7l, ST bales and S94, 76O bales, re-
spectively, for the same period OF the
two preceding seasons. The net move
ment for the month is also below that
for April Of 1856, but exhibits az III
crease over the same month in 1850 OF
1868 bales. The totals are 30,3O4 bales
this year, against 50, 46S bales IN 1856,
and %, 536 bales in 1885. Notwithstand,
ing the smaller months movement, the
aggregate net for the season to date con-
tinues in excess OF that for any similar
periC in our record.
The Chronicle says that, i! common
with the overland, receipts at the ports
during Apri! record decline from
year ago. IN fact, the net arrivals have
been less than half what they were II
April, 1886, reaching 50, 1856 bales,
against POP, ,SG6 bales, and IL comparlson
with 1855 there is q loss OF Il, lo9 bales,
the total then being 103,3315 bales. foi
the eISIlG uCHLuS, iO"S'S-, si-S .ASSAS
gate is in excess Of that Tor either Ioo0-ot
or 1854 50. The exports to foreign
ports have fallen OH very considerably
during the month, the number OF bales
shipped aggregatiug i95, lis, against
322, lf9 year ago. and 1S6,3O2 IN 1889.
Contrasted with last year, the total to
May records an excess OF 559, ,374 bales,
and the gain over lSSLS3 is 3o3, ,40l
bales. Port stocks are now 29O, 500
bales less than on May l, last year, and
the decline from 4 year ago In the stocks
ut interior towns is 14G, 600 bales.
The amount of cotton marketed since
September / in 1885, IS thus seen TO be
14G, Iii bales more than in 1886, an!
772222, Isl bales more than in lSS4-5. The
total takings by spinners since Septen:
ber l, 1856, are l, 7G9, l9l bales. Of thu:
amount, Southern spinners have taken
331, 600 bales. Northern spinners had
up to May taken LBS, l9l bales, a de-
crease from the corresponding period II
1856 of 145, ,625 bales, and an increase
over the same time in ioS4-o Of 2O4, ,5OS
bales.
